I don't even know where to start, you were stupid for not using protection, but that won't fix anything. Nothing is reversible now, but the question is, was giving birth the right way to go?
You were able to provide a son to a mother who would never be able to have a baby of her own. Atleast you know he'd be growing up in healthy environment. Also you let a person have the potential to have life, I'm not against abortions, however, I also don't think abortions should be used willy-nilly. If I were in your position I would have probably chosen to put the kid up for adoption as well. Adoption doesn't always mean long paperwork and terrible foster care systems, adoption can be an amazing thing. For instance my family was going to adopt a baby girl from a couple who wasn't ready to be parents, however, they did decide to keep her, but if they had gone through with it, it would have been simple and easy.
If we look at the other side, the abortion side. At least you wouldn't have to own up to your mistake and it would disappear, pursay. You wouldn't have to go through all that stress of school and a baby. You wouldn't have to go through something that is way above your maturity level. Colleges may frown upon it, or not, hey what a hook "I was once pregnant."
I guess the over all great thING was you didn't keep him. You allowed the baby to have a fantastic life with a fantastic mom. Instead, of having him live high schooler still trying to figure her life out.
